Bevere
realizes the word adamant has special meaning. It indicates a diamond
kind of stability. Jesus is our rock, our adamant. Simon had his name
changed to Peter, rock. God is adamant in His love and mercy toward
us. Surprisingly, God is also adamant in His hate. Bevere writes
about our being adamant too, such as in our speaking.
I
found much in this book that was not new to me. It is a good reminder
of God's rock solid love and mercy. Bevere also encourages readers to
be rock solid in our Christian life and character. I would have liked
some practical tips and suggested actions to help readers put her
teaching into practice. There are a couple of Appendixes filled with
useful Scriptures.
My
favorite part of the book was the section on the distinction between
truth and what is true. I had never thought of this before. What is
true could be true for the moment, such as that it is not raining
right now. Living in the Pacific Northwest, that may not be true for
long. But truth is for all time and all people. What a great
distinction.
This
book is good for Christians who have difficulty believing God loves
them unconditionally. Bevere shares stories from her own experiences
and stories from the Bible to illustrate her teaching.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
